This book enhances this skill so that, given an unfamiliar building, you will have the tools to understand it and to be inspired by it. Author Paulette Singley encourages you to misread, closely read, conventionally read, and unconventionally read architecture to stimulate your creative process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores three essential ways to help you understand architecture: reading a building from the outside-in, from the inside-out, and from the position of out-and-out, or formal, architecture. It erodes boundaries between the frequently compartmentalised fields of interior design, landscape design, and building design with chapters exploring concepts of \u003cem\u003eterroir\u003c\/em\u003e, scenography, criticality, atmosphere, tectonics, inhabitation, type, form, and enclosure. Using examples and case studies that span a wide range of historical and global precedents, Singley addresses the complex interaction among the ways a building engages its context, addresses its performative exigencies, and operates as an autonomous aesthetic object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncluding over 300 images, this book is an essential read for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of architecture with a global focus on the interpretation of buildings in their context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47606030074092,"sku":"9780415836203","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780415836203-how-to-read-architecture.jpg?v=1778146650"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/paulette-singley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
